A US woman who shot and killed her husband and two adult children before taking her own life is thought to have committed the shocking crime as a result of being ostracised from the religion she was raised in.

A federal judge sentenced a former Arkansas judge Wednesday to five years in prison — a stiffer punishment than prosecutors recommended — after he admitted giving young male defendants lighter sentences in return for personal benefits that included sexual favours.

Every time I tell a mate I’m doing a story on cryptocurrency, they invariably ask me the same two questions: should they invest their own hard-earned money, and which cryptocurrency will get them a Lamborghini/yacht/island quickest?

In a 60 Minutes online exclusive, reporter Liz Hayes quizzed Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on his relationship with the unpredictable Twitter aficionado and US president Donald Trump ahead of their meeting at the White House Friday.

Coles pulls mag with nude Kerr on cover

Harper's Bazaar magazine editor-in-chief Kellie Hush says she is disappointed by supermarket giant Coles's decision to withdraw the January/February issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, which features a nude photo of Miranda Kerr on the cover.

The Australian supermodel stands completely naked bar her stilettos on the cover of the high-end fashion mag, as she rests her elbow provocatively on a wrought iron balcony.

A Coles spokesman told AAP the company found the front cover inappropriate and decided to pull it from sale.

"In response to feedback from our customers, many of whom shop with their children, we removed the magazine from sale earlier this week," the spokesman said.

On Monday, Hush tweeted "this shot will become iconic" alongside a picture of the cover, so the magazine editor was clearly unimpressed by the supermarket's decision days later.

"I was really disappointed to hear Coles made the decision to pull the Miranda Kerr issue off shelves," she told Fairfax Media.

"The cover is a beautiful artistic image taken by one of Australia's best photographer's Steven Chee and I stand by that.

"I have had so much positive feedback from around the globe, it is a shame Coles does not also recognise the artistic integrity of this image.

"As Gloria Steinem says: 'The human body is not obscene.'"

Customers also had plenty to say on the issue on social media on Friday.

While some voiced their approval with the supermarket's call, others revealed their disgust at a decision that reeked of censorship.

Simon Tology (@Simon_Tology) labelled the decision "unAustralian", while Julie (@JulieInMelb) said it was a "ridiculous decision" as "a tiny bit of boob is seen and that's it".

Others did not find the decision so disappointing, saying the withdrawal was no different to Coles's decision to remove Zoo Weekly magazines from its shelves in August 2015.
